Polysorbate 80 (PS-80) Emulsifying Agent

Product Options

Polysorbate 80 is a common fragrance and essential oil solublizer as well as an emulsifying agent. It is soluble in water and alcohol and insoluble in oils. It is typically a co-emulsifier that is used both as a viscosity modifier and a dispersing agent for fragrances and essential oils for room sprays and linen sprays. When combined with liquid oils, Polysorbate 80 creates a blooming bath oil. It can also be used in a self-emulsifying sugar or salt scrub. In bath bombs, you can add up to 6% as a wetting agent (rather than a traditional witch hazel or liquid oil) to help prolong fizzing in the tub.

All of our chemicals are originally purchased as USP/NF/Kosher grade; however, because they are purchased in bulk containers and re-bottled, we must sell them as “Technical Grade”. Rest assured, the re-bottling process takes place in a very clean environment, with the utmost care to maintain the product's purity. The re-bottling process does not take place in an FDA certified clean room (at a cost of over $100,000.00), these products are technically no longer USP grade. We guarantee the original potency of all re-bottled products and nothing at all is ever added or diluted.

All our oils and chemicals are purchased in drums as USP/NSF/KOSHER grade, but because they are "repackaged" into smaller containers, we must by law, resell them as "Technical Grade".
